However as a “Season” mode player I only have access to the various 40-man rosters anyway, so there is no need for me to wait for the OSFM rosters to drop as the 2015 rosters from SCEA are plenty good for how I play the game. My 2015 season has already begun and there is no turning back. I still have 4 more Spring Training games to play this week, and my Opening Day in the game will mirror the real world Opening Day on Monday.

Yes i agree with that, as i have said, this is NOT a "Dont wait for OSFM" thread, far from it, they are an incredible piece of work.

Its more to say, "if you dont need to wait i.e. are probably only going to play a season anyway, then why wait?"

If im a 10/20/30 years into the future Show player then yes, im waiting, rightfully so, but if you arent, and have other things in your life pulling on your time too, i see no reason to waste probably another month of time not even playing the game you paid good money for.

Please, nobody interpret this thread as a knock on OSFM, its anything but

In 2014, I played my "Season Mode" MLB The Show games with injuries turned on and 30-team user control. It never actually was an issue, but there was one point in the season where one or two teams had a lot of injuries and were pretty thin in certain positions on the 40-man rosters. In that case a Franchise would have come in handy. But what I did for these teams in my "Season" was I released the players who were out for the year when they had serious injuries and signed Free Agents to fill the 40-man rosters. So "Season" mode has it's flaws. But it's also easier to handle if all you really care about is wins and loses and who makes the playoffs for a given year. 162 x 15 is an awful lot of games for me to think about running more than one Franchise year in a real world calendar year.

Been taking this approach for a while now. Finally got over the "slider disease" a few years ago.,

Probably going this route. I do have a franchise from 2014 but for some reason players faces aren't showing correctly. For example, I have Butler on the A's but he has a generic face when using my franchise. I'll just play online until rosters come out

I always go Season mode. It's multiple seasons as well, you just only have to worry about your 40-man instead of full minors.

Man I think this post is just what I needed. I was super excited to play the game but have been playing exhibition games left and right and have been feeling a bit of emptiness. Exhibition is cool but it's not the same without player fatigue and having to sit certain players, or stat tracking. I was also going to wait for OSFM but now I may just wait for the first roster update and start up my Giants franchise.

Plus I could always download the OSFM and use that as a model to edit any minor leaguer I may want to bring up to the show.

Great thread and post, PB!

Dynamic Difficulty has really enabled me to do just this, pick the game up and play. It's nice not having to worry about messing with sliders (there may be a tweak or two I make after playing for a week) and just letting the game put me in a slot based on how I'm playing. With the DD slider, it'll be easier to lock-in to a level and then once I'm there, I can drop the slider so the difficulty swings aren't as severe as last year.
